[Tank Girl]

[Playground Politics]

she obviously needs some motorhead tickets.....:groucho:

if anyone could give some remedies to getting some kip that would be cool

[globalloon]

i know that if i had motorhead tickets i would sleep for wanting to bang out my old hawkwind albums :groucho:

[Tank Girl]

I lost all my hawkwind :cry:
think I left it in a loft in glostershire............

gonna drink some hot milk - dont know if real cure but makes me feel I'm doing something productive

[Tank Girl]

it's how search engine get their listings

spiders are the things that index all the web pages for search engines and 'spin' the web:wink:

I find that listening to an audio book at bedtime helps me go to sleep or maybe some soothing music..stops my mind going round in ever decreasing circles and keeping me awake.

I also suffer from pain all day and make a point of taking a painkiller immediately before bedtime as this helps me drop off [I tend to try and avoid taking the painkillers all day if possible but at night its essential for sleep:hopeless:]

not for 7 years, and no fags for 1 year, got operation on my hand tomorrow so just getting me knickers in my twist about it :you_crazy

[starlaugh]

Could be becasue of your OP that you aren't sleeping to well.

I find that when i can't sleep its usually down to something on my mind, usually i dont realise that something is bothering me until i have it resolved and get back to sleeping properly :wink:

I also find feeling down doesn't help with sleeping either

[Tank Girl]

Thats deffo it,

When I'm worried my sleep is always the first thing to go -


most of the time it takes me a while to work out whats going on as it is usually subconcious - but this time its pretty easy!

i find that melatonin is a good and sort of natural sleep aidhttp://www.melatonin-info.co.uk/failing that VALIUM!

[JE:5]

I've had real trouble the last couple of nights too, my insomnia seems to come in cycles of a few years.

[process]

try melatonin it does work and doesnt leave you feeling drowsy the next day. Also its a natural hormone that your body produces to regulate your circadian cycle (body clock) so its sort of natural... added bonus it can also give you some very strang dreams...

Have you tried camomile tea? I know it tastes like hay but it does work ( either that or drowsy Benylin :wink: ) Good luck with ur op and the wedding :wink:

[process]

Thanks for that ! I'll have a go :love:

Haven't been able to drift off at all this week, I just can't get a certain someone out of my head, when I really shouldn't be thinkin about them at all.

So I find myself lifting weights or doing press-ups at three in the morning!

That can really keep you awake :hopeless:

Yeah drives you mad doesn't it. I didn't realise how many opposing voices I can have in my head at one time!

Oh mate, that sucks, wanting someone you shouldn't. Is it def that you shouldn't?

[little luke]

Is it def that you shouldn't? Well, this is the thing - I don't know! Hence the predicament. As much as I say to myself "forget about it for both your sakes" I counterbalance it with "You gonna let someone like this just pass by? Just like that? Are you mad?!"

I'm not very good at this sort of thing!

Oh babe, none of us are great at this sort of thing, emotions can turn all of us into wrecks :hopeless:

Without specifics I don't really know what to say, but realistic, careful thought and givin it some time would seem to be the order of the day, also the 'what if . . .' game could be useful?

My sympathies :group_hug :wink:
